In the area around Voigtsgrün there are barrows from the younger Bronze Age . Ceramics from the early Iron Age Billendorf culture were discovered in the district . Coins dating from around 1230 were found in the village. The first documentary mention of Voytisgrune (= Rodesiedlung of a Vogtes) comes from the year 1301. In this document interest payments of the Bailiffs of Plauen to the German Order in Plauen were fixed. 1506, the farm buildings of the town were to compulsory labor in Vorwerk Haselbrunn committed. Before Voigtsgrün was given independence as a rural community by the Saxon rural community order in 1838, the place was characterized by the feudal system . The Reusa manor and the Electorate of Saxony (Amt Plauen) exercised part of the manorial rule in the village in 1583 , where twelve possessed men and two residents lived in 1557 . After the end of the Seven Years' War (1756–1763) the lords of Reusa and the prince had the manorial rule over 14 possessed men and a gardener on 4 ³ ⁄ ₄ hooves of 30 bushels each.  

In the early modern period Voigtsgrün was already administered from Plauen. At the beginning of the 16th century, the place belonged to the Electoral Saxon Office of Plauen . At the beginning of the 19th century Voigtsgrün belonged to the royal Saxon "Office Plauen mit Pausa" and from 1856 to the court office in Plauen . From 1875 onwards, administration was the responsibility of the Plauen authorities .

In 1900, a 291 hectare large corridor stretched around the village of Voigtsgrün , which was used for agriculture by the rural population of the village. The population of the village rose to 111 by 1890, but 20 years later it was only 89. In 1925, 89 people still lived in Voigtsgrün, all of them belonged to the Evangelical Lutheran parish in Altensalz. Already in the 16th century the place was parish in the local church, so it is still today.

Voigtsgrün, like the rest of the Vogtland, was initially occupied by the Americans for a few weeks after the Second World War , but then, like the entire state of Saxony, it came to the Soviet occupation zone and later to the GDR . The historically grown affiliation of Voigtsgrün to Plauen was preserved even after the territorial reform in 1952 , which assigned the community to the Plauen-Land district in the Karl-Marx-Stadt district (formerly Chemnitz). Rural life in Voigtsgrün was now based on the principle of agriculture in the GDR . On January 1, 1972, the communal independence of the town, which had been achieved in 1838, ended again and it was incorporated into Neuensalz. Altensalz came to the community on the same date.

After German reunification , Voigtsgrün came to the re-established Free State of Saxony. The following regional reforms in Saxony assigned Neuensalz in 1996 to the Vogtlandkreis , which was enlarged in 2008 to include the formerly independent town of Plauen.
